My Opinions and Betsey Bobbet's / Designed as a Beacon Light to Guide Women to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, But Which May Be Read by Members of the Sterner Sect, without Injury to Themselves or the Book

by Marietta Holley

I saw from me that you did turn,

I never knew the reason why.

Oh Josiah,

It seemed as if I must expiah.

Why did you, Oh why did you blow

Upon my life of snowy sleet,

The fiah of love to fiercest glow,

Then turn a damphar on the heat?

Oh Josiah,

It seemed as if I must expiah.
